Publication number: 20150070808Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided in which power control relay switches may be configured to switch at or near a predetermined time during an AC cycle and/or that are configured to control a velocity of an armature of the relay switch during switching. An input power source may provide alternating current (AC) power and a voltage or current level of the AC power may be sensed. A relay controller may switch the relay switch based on a time at which the voltage or current is at or near a zero-crossing. The relay controller may be configured to close the relay switch based on when a voltage of the power input is at a zero-crossing, and is configured to open the relay switch based on when a current of the power input is at a zero-crossing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2013Publication date: March 12, 2015Applicant: Server Technology, Inc.Inventor: William Avery

Patent number: 8799808Abstract: An adaptive multi-line view user interface is provided that varies the manner in which data is displayed as the size of the user interface is changed. As the available horizontal space in the user interface becomes too small to display the text or data on a given display line, the data is rearranged to fit the available space. Text or data that will be truncated as the width of the user interface is decreased is moved to a separate display line beneath the line in which the truncated text or data was previously displayed. A maximum number of lines may be specified for displaying text or data. After the maximum number of lines is reached, additional text or data truncated by narrowing the width of the user interface is not displayed. The displayed lines of text or data may be displayed according to a progressively lighter font from line to line so that lines at or near the top of a given displayed text or data record are darker and more readily draw the attention of a reader.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2004Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jesse Clay Satterfield, Richard Hank Leukart, Martijn E. Van Tilburg, Jensen M. Harris, William A. Avery, Bruce D. Wiedemann

Patent number: 7716593Abstract: Improved conversation grouping methods and systems are provided for electronic mail records. Electronic mail messages that are unread or flagged for follow-up are automatically displayed under an associated conversation grouping heading. If a conversation grouping contains only a single unread or flagged electronic mail message, the single electronic mail message is automatically displayed under the conversation grouping heading for review by a user. For a conversation grouping having no unread or flagged electronic mail messages, the latest electronic mail message in the grouping is automatically displayed under the conversation grouping heading.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2004Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jose H. Durazo, Jensen M. Harris, Jesse Clay Satterfield, Martijn E. Van Tilburg, William A. Avery, Bruce D. Wiedemann

Patent number: 7707255Abstract: Automatic sorting and grouping of electronic mail items in an electronic mail system is provided. An automatic mail grouping property may be selected for electronic mail received, sent or stored in a variety of storage folders. For a given mail location (e.g., received mail, sent mail, or a given mail storage folder), a selected automatic grouping property causes mail to be displayed to a user in one or more categories that make location of specific mail items easier and more efficient. Visible dividers with optional headings may be provided between mail categories to quickly draw a user's attention to a given mail category and to separate large numbers of mail into logical groupings that make location of specific mail items more manageable.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2004Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jesse Clay Satterfield, Jensen M. Harris, Martijn E. Van Tilburg, William A. Avery, Bruce D. Wiedemann

Publication number: 20090088873Abstract: A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a thermal management device having a controller to monitor pressure parameters for hot and cold rooms where the hot and cold rooms are divided by a rack for electronic devices and are substantially isolated from each other, and adjust a flow of cooling air to the cold room where the adjustment of the flow of cooling air to the cold room is based at least in part on the pressure parameters and maintaining a target pressure differential between the hot and cold rooms and where the target pressure differential induces a flow of the cooling air through one or more electronic devices in the rack. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2007Publication date: April 2, 2009Applicant: AT&T KNOWLEDGE VENTURES, L.P.Inventors: WILLIAM AVERY, CHARLES MC BRYDE

Publication number: 20070055669Abstract: Real time availability data (free/busy data) is provided for potential meeting attendees and/or assets. An availability service is queried for availability data for one or more attendees and/or meeting assets. The availability service determines the identity of an electronic mailbox server on which is stored current real time calendaring data for the desired attendees and/or assets. The requested data is retrieved by the availability service from one or more mailbox servers having data for each attendee and/or asset. Potential attendees may set permissions on their respective availability data to restrict the amount and types of data that may be retrieved by a given data requester. Data queries and data responses may be structured according to the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and application programming interfaces (API) may be exposed for allowing requesting applications to efficiently call the availability service for availability data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2005Publication date: March 8, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dan Murillo, Jason Mayans, Suryanarayana Gorti, William Avery, Alvin Mok
